There seems to be a bug when using install.packages to install a

Avis dans install.packages("/u/smat/konis/Documents/Projects/
RHugin_0.5-3_R_i386-apple-darwin8.11.1.tar.gz", :
l'argument 'lib' manque : '/u/smat/konis/Library/R/2.8/library' est
utilisé
Erreur dans gzfile(file, "r") : impossible d'ouvrir la connexion
De plus : Warning message:
In gzfile(file, "r") :
impossible d'ouvrir le fichier compressé 'RHugin_0.5-3_R_i386-apple-
darwin8.11.1.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', cause probable : 'No such file or

Binary packages for Mac OS X are expected to have the extension .tgz
so the above is not a valid binary package (see 6.3.2 in R-admin).
In addition binary packages for Mac OS X are expected to have the
filename packageName_version.tgz, therefore files with platform
designation are not supported, either. This is different from other
unix systems. I have relaxed the requirements for
install.packages(,repos=NULL) in R-devel but I would still strongly
recommend to adhere to the above rules.
Cheers,
Simon
